Zygopetalum maculatum is a species of orchid native to Peru, Bolivia and Brazil.

The plants are mainly situated in flat, very wet, moss-covered, semi-boggy areas at elevations of 1,100 to 2,500 m (3,600 to 8,200 ft).

[1] Zygopetalum maculatum has a 40 cm (16 in) long inflorescence with eight to twelve fragrant flowers.

The flowers are 4–8 cm (1.6–3.1 in) wide, and are green with red-brown markings with a white lip marked with violet.

Pollinated flowers remain healthy and colorful for up to three months, but unpollinated flowers wilt after one month.
